[1.4] - Internet Explorer Problems (IE 6 and IE7)
Hi
Two problems with IE 6/7
1) Currently the Lenya Backend is served with an xml Prolog. This is
correct for xhtml BUT IE 6 goes crazy and switches to its quirks mode
(resulting in a bigger font size - the website looks ugly). xhtml can
be served without xml Prolog. So my suggestion is to use the
serializer option omit-xml-declaration for lenya.
2) The content Type of the lenya backend is application/xml. IE 6 AND
IE 7 don't know how to handle this correctly (see http://
blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/09/15/467901.aspx). I think the
content Type should be text/html.
WDYT?
Jürgen

So have I (using a xhtml serializer block with the omit declaration
in my publication sitemap)

mmmh. Currently no effect (strange).
Have to read the explanation about the content type again to
understand why it is «not supported».

I've turned off the xml prolog in my setup to get past these problems.

Yes, I am - IE6 goes nuts; for IE7 they solved this problem. see
http://www.webstandards.org/learn/articles/prolog_problems/.
Do You mean a switch using a browser selector in a sitemap?

Ups, sorry - Yes I meant application/xhtml+xml

I found these two articles about content negotiation:

+0 but add a big note about this resp. use a switch. But are you sure
this really because of the xml prolog and not because IE has problems
with application/xhml+xml?

don't you mean application/xhtml+xml ?

Unfortunately IE has really this problem and text/html should solve
this, but I think it's more generic to deliver the
content type based on the Accept header.
